Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Quincy Black was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a neck injury.

Black was taken off the field on a stretcher during Sunday’s 34-24 win over the San Diego Chargers, then taken to a local hospital and released Sunday night.

Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano told reporters Monday that he hoped Black’s injury wasn’t career-threatening.
